Polish 1st Line Infantry

First Legion is proud to present another stalwart ally of the French Grande Armee, the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. As part of Poniatowski’s Corps at Borodino, the Poles were heavily engaged on the far right flank in and around the Utiza Mound and the village of Utiza itself. In addition to their participation at Borodino, the Poles played a major role in the 1813 Saxony Campaign and were some of the most competent and loyal troops of all of the allied nations fighting on the side of the French.
